Jay Leno opened up in a new interview about the survival of his new 10 p.m. talk show, saying that he would have rather have stayed in his 11:35 timeslot, and that he'd go back to the "Tonight" show if asked.
Broadcasting and Cable interviewed the TV icon about the show, and critics who say that his show isn't garnering high ratings.
About whether he would return to "The Tonight Show," which is now helmed by Conan O'Brien , Leno said, "If it were offered to me, would I take it? If that's what they wanted to do, sure. That would be fine if they wanted to."
